Laura Ferguson Court Sheltered Housing...

Is situated in the residential area of East Craigs, to the West of the city. There is a local shopping centre, pub, doctor's and dentist's surgery, and both primary and secondary schools. There are a wide range of facilities nearby in both Corstorphine and the Gyle Shopping Centre.

The scheme was completed in 1979, and has 57 self-contained flats of various sizes and two Sheltered Housing Officer flats.

The development also has a communal lounge, laundry and two guest bedrooms. There is also a staff office. The main building is on three floors, all of which are served by a lift. The emphasis at Laura Fergusson Court is on tenants being as independent as possible. Tenants are encouraged to undertake all aspects of day-to-day living tasks as far as they are able.

For some, sheltered housing may be a first step towards independent living. Housing Services staff can advise on alternative housing options.
